听力原文： We use all sort of services without thinking about how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stops paying taxes？ The water supply would stop, the street might not get cleaned, and there would be not police force to protect people and property. The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is. used to pay the teachers and other public officials. Years ago the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.

听力原文： More than half of 500 Chinese cities failed to meet national air quality standards last year.
The areas suffered potentially harmful air quality, a survey of 500 cities by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) claims. And nearly one-third of non-industrial sewage in the cities went untreated. In 193 other cities, no treatment was carded out at all, the report revealed. The findings are likely to cause widespread concern.
As urbanization speeds up in China, it poses increasing pressure on the urban environment, and the Chinese Government has given top priority to environmental protection in cities. But given the latest findings, such protection has yet to yield notable results.
There are 661 cities in China—home to 41.7 percent of the population. They also generate 65.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product—but all at a huge cost to the environment.
Wang Jirong, vice-minister of the Administration, told journalists in Beijing, "In the past two decades, China has been facing environmental problems which developed countries met with over one century ago."
Making reasonable development plans, building sufficient and effectively operated infrastructure and continuing the improvement of the urban environment are among the recommended measures, SEPA's release said. The Administration started to examine environmental management and improvement in 1989.
According to Wang Yuqing, joint SEPA vice-minister, the number of complaints about environmental problems in China has been growing by 30 percent annually, showing that pollution has a serious impact on the quality of life of the public.
(26)
A．More than 500.
B．More than 250.
C．193.
D．One-third of Chinese cities.

CONGRATULATIONS !
By riding public transportation, you are he]ping to solve some of the major pollution problems in Boston.
1. AIR POLLUTION. Motor vehicles are to blame for over 80% of the air pollution in the city. Eighty-nine percent of" the vehicles in Boston are personal cars and 50 percent of them are often operated with only one person in the car. If people would use public transportation instead of their cars, air pollution levels could be greatly lowered.
2. SPACE POLLUTION. Thirty percent of the land in downtown Boston is devoted to cars. Where there are garages, there could be gardens. Where there are highways, there should be homes and places to work and play in.
3. NOISE POLLUTION. Studies show that people today show a greater hearing loss with age than ever before. Much of this is due to general traffic noises.
The cost of a personal car is high In its owner. The average person pays about ＄ 2,000 per car per year in fuel, taxes... and what's more, we pay in death from car accidents, in poor health from air pollution, in loss of bearing from noise pollution, and in the damage of our city by the ever increasing number of highways.
HOW CAN YOU HELP？
1. Do not drive in the city.
2. Use public transportation.
3. Support laws for improving public transportation.
For further information, call 876-7085. Please pass this on to a friend.

A．give information to people who are planning to boy cars
B．persuade people to use public transportation instead of their own cars
C．give suggestions to people suffering from pollution-related diseases
D．discuss the major causes of pollution problems in Boston

When faced with the decision of selecting a mode of transportation, the exporter has five basic types available from which to choose, depending, of course, upon the geographicalproximity[1] of the countries of export and import: ocean, air, rail, truck, and inland water. A sixth alternative is pipeline which transports very specialized products. The choice between available methods of transportation is usually determined by a combination of cost , time , and security.
Ocean transportation is by far the most dominant mode of international transportation , and air transport is the most " glamorous" and fastest growing. The significance of the other basic types of international transportation varies depending upon the countries involved. For example,rail and truck shipments do not constitute a significant portion of the export transactions of the United States, except perhaps for those that involve buyers in Canada. In contrast,these transport modes carry large amounts of export goods among the countries of Europe. Similarly,inland waterways are not important carriers of goods between countries except in Europe where waterways such as the Rhine and Danube rivers carry large amounts of goods among the countries through which they flow. Often the use of these relatively less important modes of transport depends upon the nature of specific products in unique geographic situations. The use of trucks to haul fresh produce from northem Mexico to the United States illustrates this practice.
Ocean transportation is widely used because it is a relatively low-cost way to transport goods, and it can easily handle large shipments. In addition, certain geographic conditions may make it impossible to use overland transportation to some foreign markets andinfeasible[2] to use it to others.
Many diverse types of products are being transported to foreign markets by air in large volume-computers, office machines, electrical and electronic equipment, automobile parts, television sets,pharmceuticals[3], certain metal manufactures, and wearing apparel to name but a few. Thus , even with existing technology, it is evident that air cargo movements are no longer confined to fast shipments of emergency supplies, goods of high value , (for example ,jewel) and perishable products (for example , fresh flowers) , although it is widely used for such products. Not only is time in transit reduced from a minimum of 10 days to a few hours, but also less handling and simpler packing requirements are involved.
Time in transit is but one of the so-called hidden costs that may be relevant. For example,concerning time in transit and the ability to put a f'acility to use sooner (thus avoiding lost sales) ,a West German company bought 230hosiery-knitting machines[4] from a US manufacturer. The machines were shipped by air at a cost of USD 224 per unit which was considerably greater than the ocean rate of USD37. 80 per unit. Delivery time was shortened by 10 days giving the Cerman manuf'acturer the opportunity to produce 207 000 pairs of hosiery, which apparently offset the transportation cost.
Small shipments may be sent by intemational parcel post, air parcel post, or air couner service rather than pay the higher minimum bill of lading charges for ocean freight or air shipment. While larger shipments are charged on the basis of weight or measurement,very small shipments are charged a set flat fee because of the costs involved in documentation and handling.
The method of transportation is usually selected by the importer. The route selected for the export shipment may be determined by either the exporter or the importer. In practice , the importer should indicate the route he or she thinks is most desirable. The final selection of the exact route,however,should generally be left to thediscretion[5] of the exporter, since the exporter is more fully acquainted with conditions surrounding the shipment in the country from which it is sent, and particularly the immediate conditions at time of shipment.

听力原文：W: Hi, Mike.
M: Hi. I'm surprised to see you on the city bus. Why not drive your car？
W: (23) I've been thinking about the environment lately. If we all use public transportation when we could, the air will be much cleaner.
M: Right. But the bus isn't exactly pollution free.
W: True. But they'll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.
M: What's the city going to do？ Install pollution filters of some sort on their buses？
W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.
M: How？
W: (24) Well, there is a material called the confine oxide. It's a really good insulator. And a thick coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.
M: An insulator？
W: (25) Yes. It reflects back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much more hotly and burn up more completely.
M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air, right？
W: (25) Yeah, and the bus will need less fuel. So with the savings on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.
M: Sounds like people should all go out and get this stuff to spray their car engines.
W: Well, not really that easy. To melt the materials before you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees. It's not something we are able to do ourselves.
23. Why doesn't the woman drive her car？
24.What are the two speakers talking about？
25.What can we learn from the conversation about the material mentioned？
(20)
A．Something is wrong with her car.
B．The cost of the fuel is high.
C．It's cheap to take bus.
D．She thinks public transportation is environmental friendly.

听力原文： Federal Express is a private airline service which expands the Postal Service in the United States. It is the only U. S. airline specializing in the transportation of small packages--35 kilos or less.
Federal Express links 130 major U. S. cities and 10,000 surrounding communities. An urgent package picked up in one part of the country this afternoon can be delivered to any other part of the country tomorrow morning. All of the Federal Express jets fly into the International Airport at Memphis, Tennessee, because it is located in the center of the United States.
The sorting facility for Federal Express is called "The Hub." Every night, from about 12 midnight to 3 a. m. , the packages are gathered and sorted into shipments for specific destinations. The main labor force is comprised of students working part-time.
Since Federal Express started business in 1971, it has flown millions of air kilometers without failure. In the space of one hour, 39 jets will take off to destinations all across the United States.
(33)
A．Its specialization in transporting small packages.
B．The low cost of its service.
C．Being the first airline to send urgent letters.
D．Its modern sorting facilities.
